William D. Mudd

I am sorry I just recently found out about the Judges passing...however, I would like to tell the family on his behalf...Thank You...Judge Mudd gave me my one and only fine for a speeding ticketat 19 years old , i am now 57. His graciousness and caring personality gave me light to the world and I never got another one again....thank you Judge Mudd for the opportunity to let me do better and be a better person.

I knew Judge Mudd as "Mr. Mudd" when he was in private practice at Sickels, Chialtas and Mudd. I was his secretary for two short years. Mr. Mudd was more than a dedicated attorney; he was a very genuine individual with a wonderful sense of humor. Above all, he was a devoted husband and father. I send my sincere sympathy to his lovely wife, Patty, and his children.

My sincere condolences to your family.Judge Mudd made a lasting impression on me and my family when he convicted the gang members that murderded my handicapped brother back in 1995. He was an honest and compassionate Judge that gave us hope that justice would prevail! May you rest in peace. I know my brother is!!

I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Judge Mudd was my favorite person to see at the courthouse! He was such a kind and gentle soul. I hope you feel comforted knowing the years you shared with him. He will be missed and remembered.

I saw Judge Mudd for the few years I was an NSO for the Disabled American Veterans, on every first Monday of the month. His dedication to our local and National disabled veterans was stalwart, honest, and an inspiration. Bill truly cared for his brethren veterans, and his presence will surely be missed. I was sad to hear of his passing. God Bless his family. Rest in Peace Sir.

My condolences to the family. You should know that Judge Mudd was well respected by the defense bar. As a Public Defender I appeared before him countless times. He was no pushover, but he knew the law, if there was merit to your case he would see it and he had the courage to follow the law even if it meant the bad guy won. As a defense lawyer you can't ask for more.

How fortunate to have Bill in my Life for the past 44 years. I was blessed to have Bill marry Brenda and me almost 20 years ago. Bill & I would compare notes about the practice of law and reflect on our profession going forward.
I was extremely proud of the manner in which took charge of his Courtroom and his steady, thoughtful hand. Bill's legacy as a honest, hard-working and passionate Judge passes on to the new generation of public servants. God be with Bill, Patty and his entire...

It is with deep sadness we read of the passing of your husband. We wish you peace and solidtude.

Bill and I knew each other since the Cal Western days. I used to ride with him to San Mateo during the holidays and stay over night at his house. I was at Cal Western from 1961- 1964 doing my graduate work. He was very kind,gentle and helpful.My deepest sympathy to Patty and the entire family.I will always cherish the fond memories I have of Bill. God bless his soul.
